BASF Visitor Centre
The BASF Visitor Centre is the starting point for getting to know the largest contiguous chemical site in Europe. BASF's main works stretches across roughly ten square kilometres along the Rhine and is a city within the city, with its own roads, railway lines and a harbour. In the visitor centre, a modern exhibition vividly explains how the countless products of the chemical industry are created from raw materials. From here the popular works tours set off, on which visitors experience the immense scale of the plants with their own eyes.
Gateway to the chemical city
The BASF Visitor Centre is the starting point for getting to know the largest contiguous chemical site in Europe. The main works stretches across roughly ten square kilometres along the Rhine and is a veritable city within the city, with its own roads, railway lines and a harbour. The centre at the works gate in Oppau opens this otherwise closed-off world to visitors.
What to expect
A modern exhibition vividly explains how the countless products of the chemical industry are created from raw materials. Interactive stations and diagrams make complex processes understandable without requiring any prior knowledge. The centre is therefore as suited to the technically minded as to families who want to understand the economic heart of the city.
Works tours
From here the popular works tours set off, on which visitors experience the immense scale of the plants with their own eyes. Only on the drive through the works does it become tangible what it means that BASF has shaped Ludwigshafen for decades. Since the tours are sought-after and limited in number, early registration through the visitor centre is recommended.
